Saturday

It’s another gorgeous day in northern Sweden. Blue skies, sunshine, the works. If it weren’t for the mountains of snow outside, I might actually be fooled into thinking spring was on the way.

We made a quick trip out to Överskottsbolaget (an over-stock store) late this morning. We usually go there once or twice a month because they have cheap baby wipes. They also have lots of other cheap stuff which almost always translates into us not getting out of there so cheaply, but we have a good time anyway.

Tage was asleep when we got home, so he stayed downstairs with Olof while Lydia and I came up and got started on a mosaic flower pot. She’s been asking if we could make one ever since she saw the tile I made last week. She is so creative and she has a really good eye for colors and patterns. She’s much more of an artist than I ever was as a kid (or ever will be, for that matter).

Not much on for the rest of the day. Actually, I’m starting to feel like taking a nap myself wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Wonder if I have time before Tage wakes up.
